I don't think this project is efficient at all. The computers are left unable to send tasks because the server stops working at noon on Thursdays and won't restore the connection until the following Friday night, losing several tasks without being able to send them. (see log on https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=1107&postid=8868#8868 )

On the other hand, the server doesn't send any more tasks on Saturdays, leaving my computer ID: 800158 empty. (see log on https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=1107&postid=8872#8872 ).

This project leaves the computers for long hours without being able to send or process tasks due to poor task management.

I'm currently trying to restart the project, but the server is clearly showing no more tasks available. The other computer seems to have enough tasks to process because it's less powerful. While the more powerful one completes one unit of work per minute, the other takes more than twice as long.

However, I find stellar photometry a very interesting project, because other projects work for private institutions, since gpudrig works for large pharmaceutical companies.

Hi, the server recently experienced connection issues due to DDoS attacks. Additionally, the DNS changed this week, so if your local cache retained the old IP for a while, your PCs may have been unable to connect. Those issues are hopefully finally resolved.

Unlike some other projects, Asteroids tasks require manual preprocessing and work loading. At times, work may not be available, this is normal and there's no need for concern.

you can check the availability on the server status page
https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/server_status.php
or

ok, thx

the server is green, but, my computer is empty 20:30 saturday to actually id 800158

el proyecto es un desastre, hoy ha vuelto a fallar el servidor, dejo de enviar tareas a las 9:00am, de la mañana y ya no tengo ninguna unidad en mi ordenador 800158 , y son las 14:51 y el ordenador no se puede comunicar con el servidor ni para enviar las tareas

You are very vocal about this!
Most projects have periods without work available, as I write SiDock is out, and WCG had a whole month offline over Christmas and New Year. Elsewhere in this forum you can find information as to what is required to make work become available.
Like everyone else, you are only a volunteer here, there is no obligation for you to participate, nor is there any obligation from the University to make WU's available to anyone, inlcuding you.
If you don't like it, you only have to detach from the project; you can also turn your computer off, join another project, or if you feel so strongly about it, then get your own data, write your own code, make a server available and run your own project (and after that, earn a living, look after your family, maybe have a social life, and reply to messages on your project forum) - BOINC is after all FOSS.
Were you to volunteer for an organisation that helped those in poverty, would you spit your pacifier out when there was no longer anyone in poverty?

Computers spend long hours without computing tasks due to poor management, servers do not send tasks and constantly fail, sometimes the servers work, however they do not send tasks, other times they fail and tasks cannot be sent, the task forecast by the planner only gives for 2 hours of work in the best of cases.


las computadoras pasan largas horas sin computar tareas por una mala gestion, los servidores no envian las tareas, y fallan constantemente, ahora los servidores funcionan, sin embargo no envian tareas, otras veces fallan y no se pueden enviar tareas, la prevision de tareas por el planificador solo da para 2 horas de trabajo en el mejor de los casos.

Tienes una inteligencia emocional de 8 años (hay frases fuera de contexto), asi es como tratais a los donantes, pero eso no evita que tengais una mala gestion en la asignacion de recursos y tareas, como el mantenimiento de un servidor. El servidor ya esta programado, y las escusas de ataques de denegacion de servicio DDOS, para justificar la inoperancia de los servidores esta desgastada.

Creo que tu falta de respeto denota inmadurez

Please refrain from insulting others. We're here to help, but we have no control over how the work is distributed. We're just volunteers like you.
Some other projects, such as PrimeGrid, provide more consistent workloads. They can generate tasks that run for years with ease, making them a good choice if you want to keep your PC continuously occupied. On the other hand, GPUGrid has been out of work for a month. Are you suggesting they have "poor management" as well?
